Cuando los cielos estén cerrados y no haya lluvia por haber ellos pecado contra ti, y oren hacia este lugar y confiesen tu nombre, y se vuelvan de su pecado cuando tú los aflijas,
Cuando el cielo se cerrare, y no lloviere, por haber ellos pecado contra ti, si oraren hacia este lugar, y confesaren tu nombre, y se volvieren del pecado, cuando los hubieres afligido;
Cuando el cielo se cerrare, y no haya lluvias, por haber pecado contra ti, y te rogaren en este lugar, y confesaren tu nombre, y se volvieren del pecado, cuando los hubieres afligido;

Gill's Notes on the Bible
When heaven is shut up,.... As it may be said to be when the air is quite serene, and not a cloud in it:
and there is no rain; in its season, neither the former nor the latter, as it was in the times of Elijah:
because they have sinned against thee; want of rain was threatened in case of sin, and was always the effect of it, Leviticus 26:19,
if they pray towards this place; in any part of the country where they were; for it sometimes rained on one city, and not on another, Amos 4:7
and confess thy name; own his power and his providence, and the justness of his dealings with them:
and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them; their affliction being made useful, to bring them to a sense of their sin, and to repentance for it, and reformation from it; or, "when thou hearest" or "answerest them" g; so the Targum, receives their prayer; thus the goodness of God leads to repentance.
g כי תענם "cum exaudieris eos", Vatablus.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 35. When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain — The THIRD case. When, because of their sin, and their ceasing to walk in the good way in which they should have walked, God refuses to send the early and latter rain, so that the appointed weeks of harvest come in vain, as there is no crop: then, if they pray and confess their sin, hear thou in heaven, &c.
